Thinking about a BCA complete upper in 6.5 grendel ,side charging. Anyone have experience with one? Seems like with side charging you could raise the comb if needed. Thanks leftyml

No experience with side charge but my dad has a 223 wylde upper from BCA on a palmetto lower and it shoots pretty good with standard fmj plinkers, i have 300blk SS 7.5" barrel new pistol build, have yet to shoot but fit and finish are top notch and i caught it on sale for $31

Leftyml, I have a couple BCA side chargers . One in 6.5 Grendel. The others have bear creek barrels and they shoot pretty well but are very rough in the bore . I love the side chargers but my Grendel is a Satern that will shoot 1/2 moa. My BCA barrels struggle to get 1 moa. KK

Just goes to show you never know. I have BCA uppers in 223W, 6.5G, and 450BM, and all shoot excellent. Couple buddies with same and similar, and same results. We must have gotten lucky!

Most of reports have been good . My 223 is a pencil barrel so didn't expect too much . The 450 just wasn't consistent so I bedded the barrel in and it shot better but still not happy. I borrowed a bore scope and Holy Smoke , RUFF ! My nephews 450 will shoot , so it looks like I got the short straw . Haha , it will get a new tube and life goes on .

BCA had a few side charge 20"hb 6.5 grendel complete uppers in,pulled the trigger and ordered one.5 days later I had it. Looks good and fit up fine to my Aero lower. Mounted a junker 3 to 9 scope.Fired it 12 times yesterday, zeroed in 3 shots. Shot 2 3 shot groups,close to a inch.All on zero. Shot 3 more, group moved 4" rt.Pretty sure its a scope problem as I had problems with that scope on a ml. Europtics was blowing out vortex strike eagles 4x24x50 30mm for $299 A friend has one and loves it. Ordered it yesterday.If I can figure out how to do pics.ILL get back later.

Got the vortex scope mounted, used burris high tac. rings.Scope looks good for the money.Hornady Black groups about 1 3/4" for 5 shots. Loaded cfe and 123gr. eld. 30.5 to 31.5 grs. 31.5 group opened up to 3.5". Settled on 31.2 at 2500 fps. 5 shots about 1.5"So far that looks the best that it will do. Did change out the GI trigger for a timmey 2.5 lb unit.MUCH BETTER.I will say that cfe is clean burning, after 40 shots barrel clean as a whistle.Will try some different loads to try to get this Bear Creek barrel to do better.
